Steven Spielberg's historical drama "The Post" recreates the critical days in 1971 when the US government tried to prohibit the New York Times and the Washington Post from publishing a secret Pentagon investigation which found that Vietnam was a lost cause and showed that successive administrations had lied to the people about the war. The film is an ode to press freedom.
